So there is a BB&B store closing by me and I happened to ask about the wall fixtures. I ended up buying 112 sq ft of this paneling that I will use for my garage walls and one 16 sq ft section for my workbench in the basement, all for $70. I also bough boxes of 50 of each type of connector they had for $5 a box. Mega score.

Update. Got some curtain rods made from iron pipe and hung up, hopefully most of the wrinkles come out so ironing isn't as much of a task.
Also got my (turned into) 312 sq ft of wall organization boards and related hanging apparatus. Got it all for a mere $160 total.

Started building the fencing to screen the trash/recycle bins to the left of the carport. I will post pics when I finish it this weekend. Probably going to have to wait until spring to paint it - the pressure treated lumber is still really wet.

So the HOA sent out letters to the community saying we can no longer leave our trash/recycler bins on the side of the house that it must be kept in the garage. I thought about what you're going to do with the fence and they said that's against HOA policies. I almost told them to go ef themselves

Our last HOA at the house in Charlotte had a "trash cans can't be visible" rule. So, while we were having the back yard fenced with 6' privacy fence - I had them build a little "coop" with a gate to keep the two bins in. Worked like a champ - and the garage didn't smell like trash, either. |

I think there are some energy savings, but they are very difficult to quantify. For one thing, the weather changes year over year, and that is a major driver of cooling (and heating) costs. Additionally, normal everyday life results in changes to the patterns of energy use. Even if weather were identical, no one is home the same exact times, doing exactly the sames things, year over year. There are other changes that affect consumption. For example, we also replaced a refrigerator, remodeled our master bath and replaced an older water heater and replaced an a/c unit, all of which are more efficient. We are also 100% LED now. Additionally, the condition of your existing windows impacts the savings. Obviously you'd save a lot more replacing decades old windows than newer windows. My fuzzy math tells me the energy cost "savings" are less than 10%. My bill has gone down more that 10% but some of that is due to the new a/c, water heater and fridge and some is due to a reduction in the fuel surcharge from our power company. If I looked solely at energy savings vs. cost of windows, I think it would be a 25 - 50+ year payback period. When I factor in the elimination of hanging shutters, better looking windows and (at least theoretically) some increase in property value, it was worth it. But I would not have done it just for high expected energy savings. I'd run the numbers assuming a 7-10% reduction in kWh to assess whether it is worth it if focused on energy savings.

Got the screening fence done. Next spring it'll get painted the same black as the house fascia. For now we can FINALLY finish the edging and pea stone in the planting bed in front of the carport.

Need more updates from hooligan_COLD
Love me a mid century modern. There’s a few “Frank Lloyd Wright inspired” homes in the area here that are just begging for some updating. |

I'll snap another pic or two later today. Also installed a couple new circuits in the basement on Friday afternoon in preparation for the new sump pump. Careful what you wish for, spazzy, "updating" these houses can go horribly wrong, depending on who's making the decisions. Unfortunately almost all of the "mid century" was renovated out of the interior of this place before we bought it. We're working to put some of it back now. |

Sadly, the house straight across from us is a 2005 McMansion, but the owners are very nice, so it mitigates the issue a lot. |
